Intuitive Bug-less Software?

Starlover writes "In the latest java.sun.com feature at Sun's Java site, Victoria Livschitz takes on some ideas of Jaron Lanier on how to make software less buggy. She makes a couple of interesting points. First, making software more 'intuitive' for developers will reduce bugs. Second, software should more closely simulate the real world, so we should be expanding the pure object-oriented paradigm to allow for a richer set of basic abstractions -- like processes and conditions. The simple division of structures into hierarchies and collections in software too simple for our needs according to Livschitz. She offers a set of ideas explaining how to get 'there' from here.

Wanna sell me your 4-digit account? I bet I can get back to excellent karma in a week or so.

Don't expect the Japanese to come up with this

Leave them to things that they understand, like making cartoons about giant robots raping schoolgirls and those weird dancing games

Mock funeral for Michael Jackson

[paranoid_stoner]

I have a great idea; a bunch of celebrities and producers need to pool their money to host a televised mock-funeral for Michael Jackson. The money will go toward the camera crew, the chapel/casket/motorcade, and ultimately the plot of land with a headstone. Mock funerals are a great way to shame and mock disgraced celebrities. Please mod this up so someone in a better position to make this happen will see this post. Thank you.

MOCK FUNERAL FOR MICHAEL JACKSON

[paranoid_stoner]

I have a good idea; celebrities and producers need to pool their money to host a televised mock-funeral for Michael Jackson. The cash will go toward the television crew, the funeral expenses, and ultimately a plot of land with a headstone. Mock funerals are a great way to shame and mock molester-faggots like Jackson. There's no point in modding this down, since you'll waste your points when more messages like this pop up. But to those of you that want everybody to hear about this great idea, MOD ME UP.

Mock funeral for M.J.

[paranoid_stoner]

Let's show the michael jackson how much the world hates him by putting together a mock funeral for him!! Where will the money come from- the concerned celebrities and media personalities that have the spare change(someone should write howard stern) The money will go toward the camera crew, the chapel/casket/motorcade, and ultimately the plot of land with a headstone. Please mod this up- don't waste your points modding me down.

Here's a better solution:

[paranoid_stoner]

I have a great idea; lets get a bunch of rich media-personalities to hold a televised mock-funeral for Michael Jackson. The money will go toward the camera crew, the church/coffin/hearses, and ultimately the piece of land in a cooperating cemetary, with a headstone. Mock funerals are a great way to shame and mock faggot molesters like M.J. MOD ME UP.

Oh, so that's why women do it ;P

It all makes sense now...

[glenn1you0]

Why was the parent modded 'Funny'? It is spot on. Do we really need a cluefulness test for moderators? 'Insightful', people, 'Insightful'.

Please remain where you are. An agent will be with you shortly to deal with your delusions. Please do not spread such alarmist lies, you will propagate further instability in the Matrix.

Troll? Oh come on! The dude's all pissed off, but doesn't explain why. Why am I in trouble for challenging him to strengthen his point? Why was he modded up as +5 insightful? Product placement == evil? Whatever.

I really hope a more sensible mod will come by and give me a re-evaluation.

Maybe that's not quite the point, but it raised my eyebrows. (Which I'm thinking about shaving off.)

A kid in my high school tried this. He thought it was cool until he hit gym class and the sweat ran straight down into his eyes. He learned why they were there in the first place.
